Well, we went from 50s to 80s here in the midwest and it’s fine. I’ll take whatever I can get at this point! I just want to pack away the long sleeves and break out all of Blaire’s cute dresses and the water table she got for her birthday back in February.

We had a great Mother’s Day. If you follow me on Instagram, then you know we ate all the food (Coffee, grilled cheese, french fries, ice cream… you know. The essentials.) and had a fun, relaxing day! Ben slept most of the day. He just loves his car seat and the stroller puts him right to sleep. He was awake for ice cream and was full of smiles!

Can you believe Mother’s Day is less than two weeks away? As a mom, I can’t even begin to tell you how much I look forward to celebrating that day with my little family. In addition to celebrating with my own family, we also spend time with my mom, my grandma and Jason’s mom that weekend.

This year is extra special because I actually have some really close mom friends I want to celebrate with, too. All of us were pregnant at the same time, with due dates only weeks apart. (I was first!) Going through pregnancy together really makes your friendship so much closer. I mean, sure, when I wasn’t pregnant I could sympathize with a pregnant friend because I remembered enough of what they were going through… but actually going through it all together at the same time? #instantbondforever. Seriously, texting someone who is also pregnant is like having a conversation with a mind reader… in the best way.

I am so excited to share Ben’s nursery with you! I’ve been working on posting this since before Ben was born… but I’ve just been enjoying the newborn snuggles too much to finish up the photos of his room. But, finally… here it is. I just love spending time in here with my baby boy!

We had such a fun-filled, crazy Easter weekend. Friday night we took a trip to the mall to see Mr. E. Bunny. We actually have never taken Blaire to get her picture with the Easter Bunny before this year. Mainly because he’s just so creepy. But, this year she saw him when we were shopping at the mall and she has been begging to go back and visit him. As you can see, she was super excited to finally see him.

I am so, so happy to announce the arrival of our sweet baby boy, Benjamin Robert. He was born March 21, at 3:50 a.m. weighing 7lbs 4oz and 20″ long. I actually couldn’t believe I was in labor with him because he was a week and a half early, but we are so happy he decided not to make us wait any longer! He looks just like his big sis, except for that dark hair.
